    LS swap is happening

    Good stuff. Make sure you post updates and let us know what issues you run into. This is on my list of things to do to my old Silverado. I scored an LS out of a GMC Yukon Denali for my 67 Chevelle SS but decided to stick with a big block. I'm going to put the LS into my pick up once my kids...

    Rear window striker??

    So I have a 95 Tahoe with the rear hatch, not barn doors. My son has been playing football for his HS and when I pick him up I usually pop the hatch and he throws all his gear in the back. So my hatch has been opened and closed a lot recently. I discovered that the rear hatch striker that's...

    Look at these 2 two doors

    Believe it or not I still have it. I only live about 10 miles from my job and it was so dead nuts reliable that I never really saw a reason to replace it. It now has 203,000 miles and my kids use it to drive to school and work. They LOVE it. The funny thing is that I have a 6.0 LS motor...

    Look at these 2 two doors

    When I got out of the military in 95, I went to a Chevy dealership looking for a new truck. I remember seeing 2 of these 2 door Tahoe's on the dealer's lot. I really liked them and seriously considered buying one. But I also wanted a pick up too. Fortunately they had a leftover 94 Silverado...

    Thoughts on 97 model year Tahoe/Silverado

    Well I grabbed the truck. I went to look at it in person and it was super clean. It had already had the intake gaskets replaced, trans rebuilt with a warranty, and all the brake and fuel lines had been replaced. It also has a tow package with a heavy duty trans cooler, and a 3:73 rear with...

    Thoughts on 97 model year Tahoe/Silverado

    So here's my scenario. Back in 95 when I got out of the Marines, I bought a brand new 94 Silverado 4WD extended cab. The 95's were out but this truck had everything I wanted and since it was a left over, I got it for a better price. Well that 94 Silverado is still mine. I daily drove it for 24...

    Other 'Toys'

    I've got a 67 Chevelle too! Mine is a real 138 vin SS car. The original 396 is long gone. It's been replaced with a 575HP 468 that has AFR aluminum heads, a Straub custom ground hydraulic roller cam, Performer RPM intake and a custom built Holley 850 carb. The original Muncie trans is in a crate...

    95 Tahoe 2 door engine swap

    If you're swapping a TBI motor for a Vortec, that should be a piece of cake. They're both small block Chevy's and other than computer differences, everything else should be direct. I can swap small block Chevy's in a day. There are some people who have swapped LS motors into these trucks. I...

    95 Tahoe with later model 17" wheels

    That's my game plan. I'm picking them up on Friday after work. I was just checking out tire prices and was curious anyone had any experience bolting them on with the stock size of 265/70/17. My Tahoe has a brand new set of 245/75/16's and they're not that much smaller. It looks like I'll have...

    95 Tahoe with later model 17" wheels

    Hey guys I've got a quick question: I have a 95 Tahoe. It's my daily driver with only 67,000 original miles. I got it from the original owner with super low miles because he had MS and struggled to get into the truck so he rarely drove it. A good buddy of mine has an 09 Suburban with 17"...

    Rebuild or Swap

    140K isn't a lot of miles. I've got a 94 Silverado with the 5.7 that I bought brand new in 95. It's got 202,000 miles and still runs like a beast. My kids use it to drive to school and their part time jobs. I'm the original owner of the truck and I've been religious about the maintenance...

    Rear shocks for towing

    This is how it looked the last time I towed it. Is that too low?? I used to tow the car with my 94 K1500 and don't remember the pick up looking this low.

    Rear shocks for towing

    Hey guys, I've got a question. I used my Tahoe to tow my car and it sagged a little more than normal. Now my Tahoe has relatively new rear leaf springs and last time I towed (September of 2019) there was no sag. I'm wondering if my shocks have seen better days? Someone said I could replace my...

    1996 Yukon reliability?

    I think that you tend to really only hear from complainers. I bought a 94 K1500 brand new as a leftover in 95 when I got out of the Marines. I'm a car guy and I'm **** about maintaining my vehicles. Today that truck I still in my possession. I've passed it down to my teenage kids who use it...

    RCLC.....1997 2dr Tahoe

    Here's the way I look at it. I never really worry about what OTHER people say about what a vehicle is worth. I look at how that particular vehicle fits my budget and lifestyle. 120K is pretty decent miles for a 97. It's officially a 23 year old truck and it should have double those miles. Add...
